"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Riley was the guy SC originally wanted before they hired Carroll but SD wouldn't let him interview. Riley has proven he's a competent college HC, so that would be good for SC, but if I was a hot shot coaching candidate, I'm not touching SC with a 10-ft cattleprod until I find out the results of the investigation or I'm given Amaker-like job security in an initial contract so I can ride out the sanctions.

"So I come out of Ohio Stadium after we beat the Buckeyes, and right there on the hood of my friend's car, some one took a dump, in the shape of an 'O'. no shit. Oh, sorry, bad pun."

Sure I have reservations about Harbaugh but based on my unabashed hatred of USC if he takes their coaching job I'm going to be forced to drink until I pass out, wake up and repeat until I completely forget/ come to terms with this. Anyone but JH for this job.

Adams Axiom: The major difference between something that might go wrong and something that can not possibly go wrong is that when a thing that can not possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

and the story he's been telling for the last few years is that he wants to stay where he is, has his dream job at Oregon State, etc.

The backstory is that he was coach at OSU in the late 90's, left just as they were getting good to be head coach for the Chargers, and failed in the NFL. When he got a second chance at OSU (after Erickson left) he committed not to make the same mistake again and leave his hometown program for a bigger, more pressure-filled situation.

Being out here, this guy brings in a bunch of 2 and 3 stars, then churns out 7-8 NFL prospects every year. He gets 8-9 wins every year despite playing a reasonably tough schedule, and some fairly decent teams (Oregon, USC, Cal) every year.

The parades are over. Time to strike the tent and beat a hasty retreat up the coast.

If any coach doesn't really want to "reach" for the job then I think Ed Orgeron has got to get a look. He was the D-Line coach before taking the head coaching job at Ole Miss. Now he is an assistant for the devil over there at UT.

its strange that they're not going after someone bigger. after hearing all the big names involved with the nd and florida (for a day) jobs...i mean...usc is still right on top of the college football universe. possible ncaa sanctions could really hurt their potential to land a big shot coach.

i would have also thought that harbaugh would've been ahead or riley on the totem poll...or chip kelly!?
